it's like they're doing everything they can to make the sabotaging of datacenters as appealing as possible, next step is to label every datacenter with the value of the components inside.

"look at it from the bright side, this is a unique opportunity to shove a bowling ball up your ass with ample free lubrication"

not necessarily that specifically, but definitely some form of interference.
As another person pointed out the specific phenomenon is probably Newton's Rings.

it's not like physical media these days has any reason to be actual discs, just use SD cards or USB drives..

yeah right sorry, i forgot there are no ways to hide traffic or limit what's accessible, it's just fundamentally impossible 😔

hit me with that satanic picnic

Beelzebub needs neither grill nor sticks to put the hot dogs on, just put the 'dogs on his horns.

...sweden?

it's gotta be some sort of mental pathology, surely

At this point i don't even demand fewer cars, i just want smaller cars.

90% of people do not need a 4-seat gas-guzzler with a massive trunk which literally outsizes a WW1 tank and a top speed of "yes", they can get by perfectly fucking fine with a little electric moped-car where the rear seats are foldable and the trunk fits maybe 3 grocery bags.

i really hope reticulum could enable easy wifi meshing, that should be rather revolutionary. Imagine people in apartment buildings being able to share their unused wired bandwidth!

It's commonly said in scifi that any spacecraft is a warhead whose yield is only limited by how much fuel you have to accelerate it with.
The same basically applies to cars.

baffling that this isn't bog standard anywhere that isn't horribly car dependent.

Like, we have a bunch of big factories basically smack in the middle of my town, and people continue to drive the like 5 kilometers there EVERY SINGLE DAY even when they know for a fact that fistfights break out over parking spaces and the weather is perfect.
I genuinely wonder if there's anything that could convince these people to stop driving, if they'd drive to work even if there was a 50% chance of being shot in the face when exiting the car.
